What John said........ why do you want to spin the motor to the moon??? Are you still running the Intercoolers that came with the D1-SC??? If you are then you are by no means maxing out the D1-SC.......... The intercoolers that come with that kit are made to support a little over 450hp........

i dont have a problem keepeing that cam, but was just wondering if there would be more power with a larger cam...


nasty ta--- i thought they were good for 900...friend of mine talked to procharger the other day and they said they were making some bigger twins that sit in the same location that would be good for 1100 hp...think ill hold off on the front mount until then.

So the stroker has a 224/230 cam now? How much overlap does the cam have?

How high do you want to spin the engine?

What pulley combo?
